We went for a day trip and we are so glad we did, the drive up is amazing, so beautiful and the road is something i can only describe as "in a movie" You cannot appriciate mother nature until you visit the valley of fire. A truly amazing place!

We took the full 90 minute tour. Great tour guide. The walk was not difficult at all. There are stairs, and a few places where even I, at 5 feet, had to bend low in order not to bang my head. It's a cool 50 degrees, you need a light weight jacket. Bring a camera, you will love this tour.

Sometimes referred to as Nevada's Yosimite, the canyon is filled with beautiful rock formations.

Wow! What a surprisingly beautiful and peaceful place! I've driven across Nevada dozens of times...this time, I wanted to see something different. So I found this on the internet and took the scenic drive on our way to California. Most people drive straight down from Elko on nice roads...this is the short way. We wanted an adventure, so we took the grand tour going south from Wells on 93, through Clover Valley on 232, and then across the northern part of Ruby Valley on 229. Just west of the pass, we turned south on a dirt road towards Lamoille. The road was descent, and we had quite the adventure. We just had a normal SUV, and this route was no problem. After arriving in Lamoille, we drove up the road into the canyon, stopping periodically to enjoy the beauty and peace. Also, lots of waterfalls from the melting snow. Reminded us of Glacier National Park. In my opinion, the most awesome drive in Nevada! Super peaceful, super clear,super beautiful.

We took a day trip to the ghost town and gold mine while we were staying in Vegas and we're so glad that we did. We rented a car on the strip and made the relatively short drive, enjoying views of mountains and desert on the way (nice change of scenery). We were relieved to find that the visitor center/gift shop were nice and cool inside as it was over 100° outside and the woman who was running the place and dog Callie were very welcoming. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, and we're loved learning about the history of the ghost town and gold mine. After the tour we drove a few miles down the road and went for a swim in the Colorado River. By far our favorite day in Nevada!
8. Little Finland

This is a neat spot that experiences little in the way of visitors. There are access spots on both the east and west sides with the west my preference if you only have time for one. Little Finland is located 115 miles from Las Vegas and the round trip driving time is just over 5 hours.

Visitors can admire colorful rock formations on several hiking trails or on a 13-mile scenic drive.

Spent half a day in this park in January when we wanted to get out of Vegas and do some hiking and exploring. The park fee for a vehicle day pass is $15 and well worth the time spent here. It was just over 60 degrees so plenty comfortable for us northerners and we wore shorts with a long sleeve top, had on sunscreen and carried water on our hikes. There is a 13 mile one way scenic loop which you can drive through and see plenty just stopping at the overlooks. There are also many hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult with a variety of elevation rises and lengths that you can choose from to see petroglyphs, hidden falls, scenic views and nature’s beauty more close up. The guide which you can access online or pick up in paper form has a map and very good descriptions of all scenic views, overlooks and hiking trails. Be aware that if you plan to rely on your phone, service is not reliable throughout the park. I recommend arriving early to beat the crowds especially on weekends or when the weather is more inviting. There is a visitor and information building with bathrooms and some information on the park and animals and land but stop on your way in because with a one-way route you won’t have another opportunity. We spent about 4 hours in the park and hit a few of the highlights, stopped at the scenic overlooks and hiked 4 different trails. Check park hours as well because they vary with the seasons. We will be back to explore the area more but the time we spent gave us time to explore the park and hit the highlights.

this is the first time I went up to the observation deck and it was amazing .. BEST PLACE for sunset for sure!!! and if you are a thrill seeker, you can bungy off the side or ride the slider that takes you off the side of the top of the Stratosphere -just plain crazy to watch but alot of people did it- you ride up the elevator at 21 miles and hour - a must see
